🧿One Night Strahd – A 6-Session Descent into Gothic Horror🧿
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Barovia is a prison of mist and shadow. Strahd rules its every breath. The only escape is through him. Welcome to One Night Strahd, now expanded into a six-session descent into gothic horror. This is not a typical adventure. It is an unrelenting, high-stakes odyssey through a cursed land, where every decision carries weight and time is slipping away. What Awaits You: A streamlined yet immersive horror campaign, condensing Curse of Strahd into six tense, gripping sessions. A narrative shaped by your choices - fate is not predetermined. Psychological terror, cryptic mysteries, and a world that twists around you. Strahd von Zarovich, reimagined - his power extends beyond the castle walls. A climax that fractures reality itself. The Journey Through Darkness: 🔹 Session I – The Mists Close In (A fateful arrival, a fortune foretold, a hunt begins.) 🔹 Session II – The Brides & The Sunlit Shrine (Secrets unravel, danger tightens, Strahd’s consorts close in.) 🔹 Session III – The Cursed Lands (Madness takes root -werewolves, druids, and ancient horrors await.) 🔹 Session IV – Castle Ravenloft Awaits (The threshold is crossed. Strahd is ready.) 🔹 Session V – The Domain Expands (Time fractures, reality distorts, the final pieces fall into place.) 🔹 Session VI – The Devil’s End (One last fight. One last choice. Who, if anyone, will escape Barovia?) This is not an adventure for the faint of heart. Every step matters. Every choice lingers. The walls are closing in. Strahd is watching. Will you break free, or fade into the mist?
Players will be given a document to read which will let them know a couple of important themes about the mini-campaign the moment they join the game. They also have the choice to either take a premade level 6 character or create one from scratch.

Additional details
How to prepare
All players need to have a working mic and a stable internet connection. Webcam is not necessary but always appreciated (it's nice to see the faces of the people you're talking to). Everyone should have a basic understanding of the D&D 2024 rules, of course they will be assisted if they don't remember something. Roll20 as well as Discord account are necessary. Finally, players will need a Syrinscape Online account where I will be streaming music and ambience sounds from.
What I provide
I have a Pro account on Roll20, as well as all core rulebooks that I can share with my players. I am very proficient with scripts and macros on Roll20 that speed up combat a ton. Music and ambience will be streamed from Syrinscape Online.
Gameplay details
We will use the "X, N and O" cards as macro on Roll20. Players can expect a fast paced and rules light gaming experience.
